which bumper?

[nova queen]

i have a evo front bumper on my nova at the mo but got a fusion one too, i am unsure if i should change it which is best?

[db_1.2]

I had a fusion one once, but bloody thing bent my wing! Needed a new one anyway, i do like the evo's but still like smaller ones, like i think its the reiger rs front bumper??? Im not sure, but out of the 2 you have i'd say it depends one what the rest of the body work looks like myself:)

[nova queen]

i ve emailed you photos so you can see!!!

[db_1.2]

Ive seen your nova before! But didnt realise it was yours, yeh id say evo front bumper myself, very tidy little nova you got there, like the style too!:thumb:

[nova queen]

cheers mate still loads to do it never stops once you start lol

[db_1.2]

Lol i know exactly what you mean! I always think, ''yeh im happy now i think ill leave it'' then i see something cheap so i buy it, then it all starts from there, buying silly things and stripping my nova and rebuilding it over and over again!

I didnt realise who emailed me for a second cus of your email address! Anyway i sent one back:thumb:

[nova queen]

so is that why most of you keep it standard (bumpers ect) apart from the engines as i have looked at the gallery and most have small bumpers ect?

[db_1.2]

I think everyone has the gsi look mainly cus everyone else on here aproves of it! But i only changed mine cus of my fusion front bumper kept scraping on the speed bumps!

[nova queen]

old school???

[db_1.2]

Yeh guess so, thats the reason i bought a nova really, gonna go for a mk1 GTE wanna be next time i think. Whats your fusion bumper like?

[nova queen]

big chuncky to me but i dont know much, my husband was going to extend it to put on his cavy but changed hes mind so its just lying around!!

[db_1.2]

You could probably get it on just about any car! They are pretty big, seen them on ax gt's before, thought it suited them a lot better, id say stick with your evo one anyway.

[nova queen]

will do mate cheers for that just thought i would get a bit of advise before i went and just stuck it on lol

[db_1.2]

No probs:thumb:

[dave_rand]

id say scrap them both a gsi one will look alot better than both of them bodykits are **** imo

[db_1.2]

:roll:

[Jack]

Evo, obviously :D

...but with lamps!

[novaco]

get the pics up lol, then i'll decide

[Nova_Houch7]

Yeh need to see pics, email to athirdfoot@hotmail.com and ill post pics up, or just post them up yourself below!

If its mk2 nova u got the id get a gsi front, but if mk1 then get GTE.

Is rest of car modified or not?

IMO, First pic doesnt looktoo bad, but second one slightly from side just doesnt look right! im not a fan of the evo bumper, id say change it, but for a more subtle bumper like the gsi one etc, i think the fusion one would look better than evo, but like i sed gsi wud be nicer, even wit big mouth.

[dave_rand]

i dont see the point in big daft fiber glass bumpers full stop they look **** and crack all the time fiberglass body kits are the worst

[Nova_Houch7]

Yup hence y my abyss kit is comin off, and being replaced with a Full GTE again.

Personal opinion!

I am starting to lean towards standard looking cars but IMO bodykits look ok if they're done properly... plus you have to appreciate the hard work that goes into making them fit properly.

[Jack]

and crack all the time fiberglass body kits are the worst
Only if you're a knob and don't fix them right. My evo never took any damage even after having been ****ted into uncountable curbs.

[nova queen]

and your all intitled to your personal opinion but big exhaust, big wheels and bumpers is what i like just woundered which bumper would look better evo or fusion!!!

[nova queen]

i think i will be keeping to the evo as the fushion bumber just looks too big for my liking!!!

[dave_rand]

well done your coming round

ooo, i think i've just thrown up a little bit in my mouth :tard:

[richi]

im a fan of the bodykits so your not alone, would look better though if you could get the fog lights in there

[Jack]

With lamps:

If you're going to put an aftermarket bumper on, make it at least semi functional.

Roof-mounted lamp post optional lol

init lol

[studaman21]

the evo looks better with lamps

[db_1.2]

Blatent!

[Matt2107]

Definately think the evo bumper looks better with the fogs.

[Dod]

Definately think the evo bumper looks better with the fogs.

Yeah, but on an Evo though...

[Martin]

Yeah, but on an Evo though...


^^^ so true..

wat the hell is a fusion bumper? liek the bat motorsport ting blud:thumb: ?

[Dod]

I dunno, but i bet it WONT suit the car.

this is a fusion bumper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wtf:

[studaman21]

its a big bumper but not as brittle as most fibreglass ones. i lost a front wing due to that bumper lol

[loggyboy]

Theres only 1 non standard bumper that ive ever seen that suits the lines of the nova ands thats dietrich:
http://www.tuningdirekt.com/catalog/images/Dietrich/DI4006.jpg

all others look like stick on gay tat....

Keep it simple, keep it clean ;)

[Matt2107]

That is the bumper I want for the 2dr saloon I dont have :D

[Jack]

I was never a fan of that one - made the car look like a Skoda IMO...

[nova queen]

i an't over keen on it either!!!!

[Dod]

Na, the Audi/Golf style thing should stay on Audis and Golfs. The vents are too big and doesnt give the car a low stance. As for the bumper pictured on the Previous page, it isn't too bad but still not my cup of tea.


PS, point of Notice, i hate Euro'd arches like the ones on the White Nova

[dave_rand]

better than the big snow plow but still not as good lookin as the gsi

[nova queen]

jack what spots did you put in your evo bumper i have got a set of mini lamps but they are to big!

[draper]

http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n114/fizzpop-2006/58_12_sb.jpg
this is a fusion bumper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wtf:

i like this 1 best if i was going to kit 1 up, and yes they only look good fited properly but then so do standard bumpers !!

suppose the only good wheels are speedlines :roll:

[nova queen]

well it dont matter now my husband has decided to put the fusion bumper on his cavy v6 so now just trying to find the right spot lights i was given a pair of mini spot lights but they are to big !!! not sure what i need

[loggyboy]

PS, point of Notice, i hate Euro'd arches like the ones on the White Nova

Ummm they're standard arches :confused:

[Dod]

Look again Loggy, they're widened at the very bottom.

[Jack]

jack what spots did you put in your evo bumper i have got a set of mini lamps but they are to big!
They were made by Ring, iirc the 120mm/8" ones, but if you measure the lamp cover you'll see what size to get. Halfords sell them.

You'll also need a few lengths of metal as well to make up some brackets to mount them.

I hate to suggest it but demon theives seem to stock a wide range... might be worth a check even if its just to get a make and model number.

[nova queen]

:thumb: thats brill thanks now i can get on with it now cheers

[Martin]

Pic of the fusion bumper dont work for me??

[Jack]

I looked, they don't :p

They do sell Cibie and suchlike, but I'm not sure what the mounts are like on those - the reason I chose the Ring ones are the mounts on the back suited the application.
